Economy Fine Food

Alas, I never had the chance to eat there. Or should we say, I never created the occasion to eat there. The loss is mine.

As was written of San Francisco’s 7th Street:

Blown-apart VFW cripples, mendicants, slobberers, whores. A slattern wheels down 7th toward Market, clutching a roll of carpet under her arm. Ming Kee Thrift Store. Used and New Household Equipment. George’s Newsstand, Books, Magazines. (Smut.) Economy Fine Food, Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner Anytime.
